Questions and Answers for OWT Ornamental Wood Ties 2 in. x 4 in. Top Rail Saddle Laredo Sunset

A:  Hello, This item has not been tested in this regard. It could work but we are unable to specifically recommend this item for that project. This item and the fasteners included are designed to go with wood for horizontal railings. Please visit www.ozcobp.com if you would like to look at this item or other OZCO items in more detail. Thank you for your inquiry.

A:  Hello, Yes this item will work with a 2x6 fence rail as well. Please visit www.ozcobp.com for more details or if you have any additional inquiries. Thank you!

A:  I don’t think so, unless you were certain there would be no torque on the rail or a way of bracing the top of the rail. They are 3 1/2” deep, so you would only be holding a little over 60% of that 2x6. Wouldn’t recommend.

A:  I'm sorry but I can't answer your question as stated. Please call our customer service line for technical support at (469) 916-7503 so we can better understand your need.

A:  It wouldn't be too difficult if you had a Dremel with the right attachment. But, there are quite a few other products in this same line, and if I am envisioning it correctly what you are trying to.do....there are probably better items with no modification needed. When we used ours, we found the ozco building products website to have better information to help us decide which pieces we exactly needed.

A:  I don't think that difficult. Using a pair of vise grips you could slowly work that flap back and forth until the bend finally fails and breaks free. I'd start slowly with small motions to ensure you are bending along the fold line - and not create a new bend.

A:  You could try bending the lower bracket flap down to 45 degrees. Then cut your 2x4 at 45 degrees to match. Might work. Just don't over work the bending of the metal as it could stress and break. Good luck.

A:  No they are painted black

A:  No, these are not galvanized. But they are powder coated - which, it is my understanding will hold up just fine in exposed weather as long as the powder coating is not damaged. If the metal underneath the powder coating is exposed, it will rust.

A:  They are hot dip galvanized then painted black work great

A:  Not the ones I used. They are power coated and they look really good.

A:  The top rail saddles and all other OWT hardware are hot-dipped galvanized and then black powder-coated.

A:  The powder coating will not be affected by pressure treated lumber.

A:  Yes. Absolutely. All our products are safe to use with ACQ treated lumber.

A:  they are acq rated no barrier

A:  No, those will only fit dimension lumber, and not a full 2"x4"

A:  Unfortunately, no. I used rough sawn cedar 2x4s ( actual dimensions) but had to sand down the sides to fit in the saddle. Still, it was worth the effort as they look great.

A:  I am not sure what you mean by rough sawn. We used common 2x4 lumber: so the actual dimensions are not 2x4 as you mention in your question. The saddles are made to use with common 2x4 lumber . We also painted that lumber prior to installing the lumber in the saddles. A few of those painted with decking paint *really thick paint, needed a nudge to get seated. We found these a great accent to our overall look. I would recommend these to others. Solid product.

A:  No, 2x4 it's just the nominal size/name, the actual dimentions are 1.5"x3.5".

A:  no I had to rout out the sides to 1 1/2" to fit

A:  No Designed for a tight fit on standard 2 x 4 i.e. 1.5” ID

A:  Yes, it will fit!
